Signal Generator Help
#14

Hi Captain, I have a Heathkit SG that was missing the probes. What I did was replace those screw on connectors on the generator with BNC connectors which are more compatible with modern equipment. Very inexpensive to do. While I was at it, I put a capacitor in series with it, thus blocking any DC voltage from getting into the generator from a radio you are connecting it to and possibly burning out the attenuator. I also used the audio input jack to the generator, wiring it to the oscillator input to the attenuator through a cap also. Did that with a BNC connector also. The audio input for me is useless so I repurposed it to be able to connect the generator to a frequency counter. You can find inexpensive RF probes like the one I attached and it uses a BNC connector. Just a thought you might consider.

Ron
